Ok? Already knew all that
The point is that Disney is famously child/family friendly and that they had influence on the film, thats why a direct reference to suicide in the first 5m is especially surprising: Disney let it happen
Pixar actually being the ones who made it is entirely irrelevant to my point and also incredibly basic film trivia
In general I tend to differentiate between creator and publisher in all art. It would have been a more shocking inclusion had it been a movie made by Disney themselves - at least to me. I'm open to being wrong about how much Disney meddled in Pixar stories pre 2006 purchase though. I can't say it's a subject I've studied at length. I know there is a book about Pixar but I haven't read it. Do you have any sources?
